    One woman in a white coat shouts: ‘I want to punch you. No one cares.’

    She can be heard shouting to the man to ‘f*** off’ while holding him as he is placed under arrest.

    But was so enraged she warned by the officer to back away from the incident or she would be arrested for common assault.

    At the end of the video, the suspect is shown being led away to a police van.

    British Transport Police said: ‘Officers were called to Leicester Square railway station at 7.20pm on 31 December to reports of a theft and subsequent arrest by an off-duty police officer from Hertfordshire Constabulary.

    ‘British Transport Police attended and a man was detained. He was further arrested on suspicion of three further counts of theft.

    ‘He has been released on bail pending further enquiries.’

    Between March 2023 and 2024, the Metropolitan Police received more than 79,000 reports of pickpockets.

    Some 28,155 were reported in Westminster, with one in seven people in the area having something – mainly mobile phones – stolen from them.

    This marks a 712% increase in the area from three years ago, and is by far the highest rate of thefts across the capital.
